Artificial Ignorance

In this community we share the best (worst?) examples of Artificial "Intelligence" being completely moronic. Did an AI give you the totally wrong answer and then in the same sentence contradict itself? Did it misquote a Wikipedia article with the exact wrong answer? Maybe it completely misinterpreted your image prompt and "created" something ridiculous.

Post your screenshots here, ideally showing the prompt and the epic stupidity.

Let's keep it light and fun, and embarrass the hell out of these Artificial Ignoramuses.

All languages welcome, but an English explanation would be appreciated to keep a common method of communication. Maybe use AI to do the translation for you...

10 years ago all of the search engines would have returned a site explaining the right answer, which I know because they always returned the right results even with mispellings.

Not only did it misunderstand the question, the answer was gibberish.'Straight' and 'a sound' are NOT homophones. 'Strait' and 'straight' are homophones.

Google still does? What is your problem. Both googles ai as well as their results are perfectly correct.

Google now gives you 10 somewhat related ad based hits.

What are your exact search terms, do you run adblocker?

Straight vs sound. No special plugins. Android.i used the Google search bar.

Note that Google did the heavy lifting of automatic search term correction.

That's actually impressive, because normally I get a bunch of garbage ad based links (paid, sponsored, click through stuff etc) Maybe because the search is a vs comparison and not a specific sellable item?

I just put in the term from the question. I am based in Germany, if that matters.
